FABRIC CARE:
  • LOOSE CUSHIONS and pillows should be flipped, rotated and fluffed on a weekly basis to keep filling materials evenly distributed and allow for even wear.
  • VACUUM all upholstery once a week with a brush attachment only.
  • DOWN CUSHIONS cannot be vacuumed; instead, use a sofa whisk broom or soft brush to clean fabric.
  • PILLING is normal for all fabrics when they shed their excess fiber. Using a fabricshaver will remove unwanted pills.
  • DIRECT SUNLIGHT, heat and moisture should be kept away from upholstery as fading and discoloration may occur.
  • NEVER SIT on the recliner's footrest, the end of an open sleeper, the arms of furniture or an ottoman.
  • MOVING? Always lift your upholstered furniture. Never drag or push furniture to a new location. This could damage your floor or furniture.
  • - STAIN REMOVAL. Before you try to remove a stain or soil from your upholstery, you
    should determine the type of fabric involved. Some manufacturers make this easy for you by placing cleaning codes on furniture. (You'll find the code either on the furniture hang-tag or on the manufacturer's label. If not, call us!) These codes indicate the type of fabric involved - cotton, wool, silk, etc., and suggest the best methods of cleaning and spot removal:

    WS: Clean with water-based cleaning agents and foams, as well as with mild, water-free dry cleaning solvents.
    W: Use water-based cleaning agents or foams only.
    S: Use only mild, water-free dry cleaning solvents.
    X: Do not use foam or liquid agents on this fabric. Vacuum or brush lightly to remove soil.

LEATHER CARE:

We sell a wide variety of leather products, with different hides, grains and texture. For care and maintenance tips, check which kind of leather upholstery you have and follow the tips below:

Pure Aniline Dye Leather Care
Protected Leather (Semi-Aniline) Care
Nubuck Leather Care
Wax Oil/Pull-up Leather Care


Pure Aniline Dye Leather Care

Aniline dye leather has varied shades for a natural look. They are soft and natural feeling, and show all bites, scars and grain variations.

Care and Maintenance:

  • Routinely wipe with a damp sponge or vacuum with a soft brush attachment.
  • Keep out of any direct sunlight as pure aniline dye leather is susceptible to sun fade.
  • Keep at a minimum of 12" away from direct heat sources.
  • Blot liquid spills with a clean, dry cloth.
  • Food spills should be removed with a damp cloth or sponge.
  • Periodically use Leather Master soft cleaner followed by Leather Master protection cream (3-4 times per year).
  • Revitalize with Leather Vital from Leather Master 1-2 times per year. Moderate Cleanability.

Protected Leather (Semi-Aniline) Care

Protected leathers have a consistent color and show some natural characteristics, such as scars and grain variations. They are available in a wide variety of colors and the repellent lacquer coating can be cleaned easily.

Care and Maintenance:

  • Routinely wipe with a damp sponge and/or dust with a clean cloth.
  • Keep the leather upholstery at least 12" away from direct heat sources to avoid cracking and peeling.
  • Blot liquid spills with a clean, dry cloth.
  • Remove sticky food residue with a damp sponge.
  • Periodically use Leather Master soft cleaner followed by Leather Master protection cream (3-4 times per year).
  • This type of leather has some fade resistance. However, it is vulnerable to cracking and peeling from ultraviolet rays.

Nubuck Leather Care

Nubuck leathers often have shade variations due to the aniline dyes. The buffed grain feels like fabric. These leathers show natural characteristics, such as scars, bites and grain variations. It is difficult to clean oil-based stains.

Care and Maintenance

  • Vacuum weekly to remove airborne particles.
  • Avoid direct sunlight, as this leather has no fade resistance.
  • Keep 12" away from direct heat sources.
  • Use Leather Master nubuck cloth routinely, or depending on use. The nubuck cloth will remove any soil and keep up the nap or sueded effect.
  • Periodically use Leather Master nubuck spray to help repel liquids.
  • Blot excess liquids with a dry cloth. Wash areas with Leather Master nubuck or soft cleaner.
  • Let area air dry or blow dry with medium heat from a hair dryer. Brush with nubuck cloth.
  • If oil absorbs into the leather, apply cornstarch by rubbing it in with a finger. Let it sit for 4-6 hours. Vacuum excess powder, then wash with nubuck cleaner. Dry and brush.
    The Nubuck cloth will remove any soil in turn with keeping up with the nap or sueded effect.

Wax Oil/Pull-up Leather Care

These leathers are top-coated with wax. The shade varies for a rich, warm look, beautifying with age. Scars and marks can show dramatically, and crackle or distressed looks can occur with use. Each piece takes on its own characteristics.

WOOD:

Wood Care Tips

Wood Care Tips

For proper care and maintenance of your wood furniture, follow the tips below:

  • WOOD BREATHES, EXPANDS AND CONTRACTS. Each piece of furniture responds differently to changes in temperature and humidity in your home. Expansion at the joints and seams will return to its original shape and size as seasons change.
  • PROTECTIVE COVERINGS such as felt backed place mats and table pads will help protect the finish on your furniture. This is especially important for wood furniture that is used in kitchen areas.
  • POLISH WOOD 2-3 times per year with Jordan's Furniture Wood Polish. Dust with a soft lint-free cloth.
  • TREAT DRAWER GLIDES with Vaseline or candle wax for smooth operation.
  • AVOID LEANING CHAIRS back on two legs - to protect structural integrity and your personal safety.
  • TABLE LEAVES should always be stored flat. *Opening & closing of dining tables requires two people, when inserting or removing table leaves. This will avoid damaging table legs.
  • NEVER MOVE a bed while it is set-up. Always remove bedding and disconnect side rails to avoid structural damage.
  • KEEP FURNITURE OUT OF SUNLIGHT to avoid sun damage and bleaching.
  • KEEP FURNITURE AWAY FROM HEATING/AIR CONDITIONING SOURCES as they affect the moisture content of the wood.
  • DO NOT SET SYNTHETICS, RUBBER OR PLASTICS on the wood finish as the chemicals may damage the finish.
  • DO NOT LEAVE NEWSPAPERS and magazines on wood because the inks can bleed onto the finish and into the wood.
  • PERIODICALLY ADJUST levelers and door hinges to ensure smooth operation of doors and drawers.

Expectations

  • Because each piece of wood is unique, you can expect variations in grain appearance and stain coloration.
  • Random distressing applied by hand adds a distinctive heirloom appearance to the finish of some pieces. Ask your Sales Consultant if your furniture has this feature.
  • Many wood pieces include levelers and door hinges that must be periodically adjusted to ensure smooth operation of doors and drawers.
  • TV and other electronic equipment should be measured to ensure proper fit.

MARBLE & LACQUER CARE:

For proper care and maintenance of your marble and lacquer furniture, follow the tips below:

Sealed Marble Care (shiny, polyurethane/polyester coated)
Unsealed MarbleCare(natural state, uncoated)Lacquer Care

Sealed Marble Care (shiny, polyurethane/polyester coated)

  • Wipe the poly finish with a solution of warm water and mild soap.
  • Water or spills will not affect the finish unless it is left uncleaned.
  • Do not put a porous pot or planter on the finish for any length of time. It can release moisture, causing the finish to lift and peel.
  • Protect and maintain your marble finish with Stainsafe™ Lacquer and Sealed Marble Kit.

  • The polish helps to repel fingerprints, to protect against liquid stains, to help prevent premature fading and to fill and hide hairline scratches and to maintain a smooth, glass-like finish.

Unsealed MarbleCare(natural state, uncoated)

  • Immediately upon receipt of this marble, apply a coat of paste wax to seal and protect
    the surface. This will fill small holes and repel liquids. Never leave anything wet for any length of time on marble furniture. Keep it well waxed, as you would any fine piece of wood furniture.
  • The removal of light rings and slight stains is a simple procedure. If you think it's a surface stain, with a light-handed application try the finest sandpaper (600 grit or finer) available. Then add a small amount of either hydrogen peroxide, diluted bleach, or ammonia to the stain with a soft cloth. Always wash with clear water, wipe with a dry cloth, and re-wax after any cleaning or repair.

Lacquer Care

  • Lacquer (polyester poured finish) can be cleaned with glass cleaner and a soft cloth.
  • To protect and maintain your lacquer finish, we recommend our Stainsafe™ Lacquer and Sealed Marble Kit. This kit includes a lacquer cleaner and polish. The polish will help to repel fingerprints, protect against liquid stains, help prevent premature fading, fill in and hide hairline scratches, and maintain the smooth, glass-like finish.

MATTRESS CARE:

It's important to care for your new sleep surface so that it lasts for years to come. Here are proper steps to protect your investment. Choose your sleep surface.

Single-Sided Innerspring
Tempur-Pedic Foam

Single-Sided Innerspring

  • Ensure proper center support is used for queen and king sized bedding (required for warranty).
  • Allow your new bedding to air out. Residual odors from the manufacturing process may be present at first. They are not harmful and will dissipate with time.
  • Use a high quality, washable mattress pad to keep your mattress clean and stain-free.
  • Expect body impressions to form in the surface padding. They are normal and indicate that the layers are molding to your body's contours.
  • Rotate your new mattress periodically. For optimum performance, this mattress was designed for rest on one side only and cannot be flipped. An occasional rotation will equalize wear and extend the comfort life.
  • Take time to adjust to your new mattress - it can take up to one month.
  • Do not remove the law label from your mattress. This is needed to identify your appropriate warranty coverage.

Tempur-Pedic Foam

  • Ensure proper center support is used for queen and king sized bedding (required for warranty).
  • Allow your new bedding to air out. Residual odors from the manufacturing process may be present at first. They are not harmful and will dissipate with time.
  • Remember that this foam is sensitive to temperature and humidity, and becomes firmer in lower temperatures and humidity levels. If your mattress has been delivered folded at temperatures below 40°F, you must allow time for it to adjust to the surrounding room temperature. Forcing it open could result in damage.
  • To experience maximum pressure-relieving effect, do not use mattress pads and covers of any kind or electric blankets - only standard sheets. The Tempur.pedic cover provided is removable and machine washable. Cool water and cool dryer settings are recommended. Never wash the Tempur foam material.
  • Take time to adjust to your new mattress -- it can take up to one month.
  • Do not remove the law label from your mattress. This is needed to identify your appropriate warranty coverage.

RUG CARE TIPS:

With proper maintenance and rug padding, you can maximize your area rug investment. The following tips can be used on all types of rugs, and can keep your rug looking great!

  • Frequent vacuuming benefits all rugs, but please do not vacuum rug fringe, or use beater- bar attachments on hooked rugs.
  • Turn rugs 180 degrees annually to alternate wear patterns and even out sun exposure.
  • Spot clean all spills with soda water, blotting with a white cloth. Quick reaction helps minimize the chances of a stain 'setting.' All stubborn stains should be treated by a professional rug cleaner. If you have purchased the Stainsafe Area Rug Protection Plan, please refer to the warranty card for care and cleaning guidelines.
  • High quality rug padding, such as Dura-Hold brand should be used for all rugs and all surfaces, even a rug-on-rug situation.
